Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
There was someone killed 'neath the townhall light,
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the stranger who fled looked a lot like me

The judge said son what is your alibi,
If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die
I spoke not a word, though it meant my life,
For I'd been in the arms of my best friends wife

She walks these hills in a long black veil,
She visits my grave where the night winds wail.
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me

The scaffold was high, and eternity near,
She stood in the crown and shed not a tear.
But sometimes at night, when the cold wind moans,
In a long black veil, she cries on my bones.

She walks these hills in a long black veil,
She visits my grave where the night winds wail.
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me

Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
Nobody knows but me
